I recently got a Noix GSH FC and a Sanguine GSH EC. Love both of them and they will both serve casual and dressy needs. Many people, like myself, may have never seen either IRL or may have only seen a clutch in a case but haven't touched one. Another TPFr asked me to fill my clutches with stuff to see how they felt and looked because we seem to always see these clutches when they look virtually empty.
So, I filled the clutches with my bare essentials for either casual or dressy use.
The FC could better handle bulky items and retain a better shape. My fat everyday wallet and my Hello Kitty mini makeup case fit in the main compartment. I put my Blackberry in the front zip pocket. Keys went into the inner zip pocket. The FC felt comfy and looked great...not fat or distorted.
The EC can't handle as much bulk b/c of the shorter height and the front flap. I would not use my everyday wallet. I would switch to my mini-wallet and just have my ID, cash, and a credit card. I took my balm and gloss out of my Hello Kitty mini makeup b/c it just wouldn't fit. I fit my keys and Blackberry. All these items went into the 2 primary compartments. The 3rd and 4th compartments may be to just hold show tix or something very flat or small. The EC felt good with the items in the photo below, however, I would pare it down to keep the clutch slimmer.
